[1]Rep. Jason Conger
Jason Conger for U.S. Senate
With the Primary Election right around the corner, Jason Conger has been picking up momentum with national conservative media outlets. On Tuesday Townhall.com described Jason Conger as the conservative anti-establishment candidate in the Oregon Senate race. The article pointed out that Jason clearly represents the traditional values of the GOP, unlike his opponent.
The Townhall.com [2] article highlights Jason Conger’s incredible story and conservative values, and criticizes the DC establishment for picking pro-choice candidate Monica Wehby.
“…Conger’s success story is just as worthy of an endorsement. The Harvard Law graduate worked his way through law school after being abandoned by his mother and enduring periods of homelessness. More importantly, however, he’s right on the issue of life.”
Townhall.com also pointed out that a large portion of Monica’s support comes from outside Oregon, which may imply a lack of support from conservatives in Oregon.
“Meanwhile, 40 percent of Monica Wehby’s itemized contributions have come from out-of-state, suggesting conservatives in her own state are not too enthralled with her policy stances.“
The message is clear: Oregonians do not want the DC establishment candidate, Oregonians want the people’s candidate. Jason Conger is not the DC establishment candidate – instead he has been endorsed by Oregon Republican leaders across the state and conservative grassroots organizations like Oregon Right to Life and Oregon Firearms Federation.
Gayle Atteberry, the executive director of Oregon Right to Life, made Oregon’s position clear in a special message for the GOP establishment: “I have a simple request: Stay out of our state, and let us choose the best person to represent our values to be on the ballot this November.”
Townhall.com [3] argues that, “Oregon needs someone who will fight for ALL Oregonians – including those in the womb.”
We have a unique opportunity to defeat Jeff Merkley this election, but we cannot do it by compromising our conservative principles, and we won’t do it by letting DC pick our candidate for us. If you agree please support Jason Conger.
Recently, Jason was also featured on the Dennis Miller Show [4] and in a RedState op-ed [5].
